Nevis River

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nevis River is located in Otago, New Zealand. It flows north for 40 kilometres through rough country before meeting the Kawarau River, of which it is a tributary. A prominent rock outcrop close to this junction is known as the Nevis Bluff.

The river was one of the sites of the Central Otago goldrush of the 1860s. Today, the region around the river is known for tourism and wine production.
